A Ouija Board, also known as spirit board or talking board, is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and other symbols, like the words yes, no, and good-bye, and the numbers 0-9. Theoretically used to communicate with spirits. It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out messages. The planchette is the 'pointer' that is supposed to glide over the board under the direction of supernatural forces and form comments and questions by pointing out questions and comments. Ouija boards came into existence as a parlor game in the mid-1800's, when spiritism and channeling were at the height of fashion.

The word "Ouija" is a blend of the French and German words for "yes." Adolphus Theodore Wagner first patented Ouija Boards, sometimes referred to as "talking boards," in London, England on January 23, 1854. In the patent, Wagner called his invention a "psychograph" and its purpose was to read the minds of people with "nervous energy." By 1861, Frenchman, Allan Kardac, was describing the Ouija board as instruments with which to open communications with the spirit world.

Ouija Board: Demystifying the 'Mystifying Oracle' Ouija Board: Demystifying the 'Mystifying Oracle' By Benjamin Radford, Live Science Contributor | December 10, 2013 09:37pm ET MORE Credit: siouxsinner | Shutterstock Ouija boards are known worldwide as both a game and supposed tool for communicating with the spirit world. The word Ouija comes from the French and German words for "yes," (oui and ja).

The game is simple and consists of two parts: the board itself printed with letters and numbers, and a hand-sized, roughly heart-shaped device called a planchette, designed to slide smoothly over the board (using small wheels or felt pads) when two or more pairs of hands are upon it. Many believe that something other than the human sitters controls the planchette as it moves across the board answering questions and spelling out answers. There are many varieties of Ouija boards, decorated with a wide variety of symbols including the sun, moon, stars and so on, but the basic elements are the letters of the alphabet, numerals 1 through 0, "yes," "no" and "goodbye." (Of course non-English Ouija boards use their own alphabets and language.) Some even have answers that can be found in another pseudo-mystical children's divination tool, the Magic 8 Ball. History of the Ouija Though some sources claim that the Ouija dates back to ancient Greece, it is in fact of much more recent vintage. The Ouija is only one of countless divination tools used for millennia, from reading tea leaves to astrology.

The game was invented in the early 1890s by a man named Elijah Bond, who soon sold his patent to a William Fuld, who recognized its moneymaking potential and, in turn, sold the game to Parker Brothers in 1966. Folklorist Eric Eliason, writing in the "American Folklore" encyclopedia, notes that for much of its early existence, the Ouija board was not considered anything other than an amusing pastime "unrelated to the occult until Pearl Curran, a prominent figure during the World War I-era Spiritualism revival, began touting Ouija as a tool for divining the future, finding lost objects, seeking daily advice, and contacting spirits. Soon thousands of Americans were using Ouija to check up on their loved ones fighting in Europe." Curran is largely responsible for the Ouija board's modern reputation as a "real" tool of prophecy and spirit communication. Ouija boards are universally recognized as a conduit to the spirit world, but are they real? Do they really do what Curran believed they can do?

Many people certainly believe so; in fact, many Evangelical Christians believe that occult divination tools such as Tarot cards, pendulums, and Ouija boards can connect with, and even summon, evil spirits, including Satan. Not only is using the Ouija board asking for trouble because it might summon evil spirits, but the board (along with role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons) is believed to actually invite full demonic possession. This is related to Christian concerns of temptation, that genuine Satanic evil can come in the form of otherwise silly and benign games (similar concerns are often expressed about children's participation in Halloween activities). Other "occult" activities viewed with suspicion include forms of divination such as astrology , dowsing , Tarot, and even hypnosis. All are considered forms of witchcraft, which is explicitly condemned in the Christian Bible. Because of its prominent place in pop culture as a conduit to spirits and demons, the Ouija board has been a staple of horror films for decades.

Hundreds of films, including "The Uninvited" (1944), "The Exorcist" (1973), "The Changeling" (1980), "Witchboard" (1986) and "Paranormal Activity" (2007) have featured the boards as a plot device through which spirits, ghosts and demons communicate. Another film, "Ouija," is slated for Halloween 2014. Parker Brothers, not wishing to alienate large segments of the Christian family board game market, has always promoted the game as it was originally created and intended: as a harmless parlor game instead of a boxed invitation to Satanic possession. Parker Brothers has sold Ouija boards as a harmless parlor game since 1966. Ouija Board Rant - YouTube Ouija Board Rant Want to watch this again later? Sign in to add this video to a playlist.

Uploaded on May 6, 2011 STAY AWAY FROM OUIJA BOARDS!!!! THEY ARE EVIL!!!! Here is what I found about them on wikipedia ( A Ouija board (pronounced /ˈwiːdʒə ˌbɔːrd/, WEE-jə, and possibly derived from the French and German words for "yes", oui and ja),[1] also known as a spirit/fire key board or talking board, is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words 'yes' 'no' and 'goodbye', and other symbols and words are sometimes also added to help personalize the board. Similarly pronounced Hindi word Ojha means the ones who deal with spirits. The Ouija board was invented as a means to deal with ones spiritual self, to access a part of the soul not usually accessed. However is more commonly believed to be a way of communicating with spirits of the dead.

Although nobody knows where the idea for such a device came from, there are records of Ouija-like instruments being used in ancient China, Greece, Rome and many other countries.[2] It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out words or become physically manifested. It has become a trademark that is often used generically to refer to any talking board.

Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond in the late 1890s, the Ouija board was regarded as a harmless parlor game unrelated to the occult until American Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I.[3] Mainstream Christian religions and some occultists have associated use of the Ouija board with the threat of demonic possession and some have cautioned their followers not to use Ouija boards.[4] While Ouija believers feel the paranormal or supernatural is responsible for Ouija's action, it may be parsimoniously explained by unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect.[5][6][7] Despite being debunked by the efforts of the scientific community, Ouija remains popular among many young people.[3] Category Ouija board - The Skeptic's Dictionary z Ouija board If there really is an afterlife, I'll bet the best way to contact it is through a plastic, mass-produced board game from Milton Bradley! --Mad Magazine A Ouija board is commonly used in divination and spiritualism , often by friends out to have some fun.

Sometimes, users become convinced they've been contacted by the spirit world. The board usually has the letters of the alphabet inscribed on it, along with words such as 'yes,' 'no,' 'good-bye,' and 'maybe.' A planchette, a small 3-legged device with a hole in the middle or a pointer of some sort, is manipulated by those using the board. However, users often feel the planchette is moving of its own accord rather than responding to their own unconscious muscle movements ( ideomotor action ). The users ask a "spirit" a question and the pointer slides until it stops over "yes" or "no" or a letter on the board. Sometimes, the selections "spell out" an answer to a question asked. Some users believe that paranormal or supernatural forces are at work in spelling out Ouija board answers. Skeptics believe that those using the board either consciously or unconsciously move the pointer to what is selected. To prove this, simply try it blindfolded some time Have an unbiased bystander take notes on what words or letters are selected. Usually, the results will be unintelligible.

The movement of the planchette is not due to spirits but to unconscious movements by those controlling the pointer. The same kind of unconscious movement is at work in such things as dowsing and facilitated communication . Before there were Ouija boards in America there were talking boards . These could be used to contact the spirit world by anybody in the privacy of one's own home; no séance was required and no medium need be present (or paid!). No experience necessary! No waiting! Quick results, guaranteed! The Ouija board was first introduced to the American public in 1890 as a parlor game sold in novelty shops. E.C. Reiche, Elijah Bond, and Charles Kennard ... created an all new alphanumeric design. They spread the letters of the alphabet in twin arcs across the middle of the board. Below the letters were the numbers one to ten. In the corners were "YES" and "NO." Kennard called the new board Ouija (pronounced 'wE-ja) after the Egyptian word for good luck. Ouija is not really Egyptian for good luck, but since the board reportedly told him it was during a session, the name stuck.

* Kennard lost his company and it was taken over by his former foreman, William Fuld, in 1892. One of William Fuld's first public relations gimmicks, as master of his new company, was to reinvent the history of the Ouija board. He said that he himself had invented the board and that the name Ouija was a fusion of the French word "oui" for yes, and the German "ja" for yes. * Although Ouija boards are usually sold in the novelty or game section of stores, many people swear that there is something occult about them. For example, Susy Smith in Confessions of a Psychic (1971) claims that using a Ouija board caused her to become mentally disturbed. In Thirty Years Among the Dead (1924), American psychiatrist Dr. Carl Wickland claims that using the Ouija board "resulted in such wild insanity that commitment to asylums was necessitated." Is this what happens when amateurs try to dabble in the occult? Maybe, if they are suggestible, not very skeptical, and a bit disturbed to begin with.

However, even very intelligent people who have not gone insane are impressed by Ouija board sessions. They find it difficult to explain the "communication" as the ideomotor effect reflecting unconscious thoughts. One reason they find such an explanation difficult to accept is that the "communications" are sometimes very vile and unpleasant. It is more psychologically pleasing to attribute vile pronouncements to evil spirits than to admit that one among you is harboring vile thoughts. Also, some of the "communications" express fears rather than wishes, such as the fear of death, and such notions can have a very visible and significant effect on some people. Observing powerful messages and the powerful effect of messages on impressionable people can be impressive. Yet, as experiences with facilitated communication have shown, decent people often harbor indecent thoughts of which they are unaware. The fact that a person takes a "communication" seriously enough to have it significantly interfere with the enjoyment of life might be a sufficient reason for avoiding the Ouija board, but it is hardly a sufficient reason for concluding that the messages issue from anything but our own minds.

How to use the Ouija Board How to use the Ouija Board Everyone's Guide to Safely using this Ancient Device for Talking to the Dead How to Safely Use The Ouija Board ~ An Instruction Manual Finally a manual that wants you to use it, and for less than $1 (eBooklet) Everyone's guide to safely using this ancient device for talking to the dead, from Daniel Cumerlato with over 15 years experience using The Ouija Board. Finally an instruction manual that explains why the Ouija Board can be completely safe, and be the most unique night you've spent with friends in a long time. An interesting experience that's new every time! What is a Ouija Board? Today it's a paranormal communication device currently marketed and sold by Hasbro as a board game. Historically, it's a method for talking with the dead. Where does this come from? The ancient Chinese as a form of automatic writing starting over 900 years ago. The modern Ouija uses a board with letters to spell out words, Yes/No for direct questions and even numbers. It uses a Planchette device (the pointer shaped like an upside-down heart) to communicate.

The modern board also has a dark reputation linked with possession, violence and even death. How much of that is true and how much is paranoia? Some of that paranoia started with the movie The Exorcist: the story of a young girl being possessed by a demon. The movie shows the possession starting with the girl using a Ouija alone. The movie itself was fiction, but is based on a true story. What happened in The Exorcist is not true, but the Ouija is not without danger, such as... NEGATIVE ENERGY It's a focal point of energy from a group of people. This creates a buildup, all of which is not nice and positive that can build up and take over a session. Whether from the ghosts who carry it, like chains behind Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, or from a person in the group who had a stressful day. But what is clear, the Ouija Board is not a tool of the devil, but instead a communication device that has it's roots in the most ancient methods of energy manipulation, giving us a better understanding of the "other side". The Big 3 Rules of Ouija: These are the top 3 rules that have protected me over the years.

They encompass many different factors and are the root safe communication. BE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A GAME Being in a serious mood ensures your natural psychic defenses are turned while you're talking to the dead. You are ready for negative energy, naturally closing yourself off to it, and protecting yourself from it. ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE AT THE END Mischievous or negative ghosts will refuse to say Goodbye. This is like a stubborn child refusing to leave the store until you get them candy. You take the kid out of the store just like you put the planchette down to Goodbye. This ends the session and sets your mind to shutting that door opened from the other side. NEVER USE THE OUIJA BOARD IN YOUR HOME The negative energy from bad ghosts can affect you. You're at rest and want to feel comfortable in your home, a place where you're most vulnerable. The last thing you want is negative energy swirling about, affecting your mood, causing problems in your family, and nightmares while you sleep. What about Rule #4 - Never use the Ouija Board alone? There is not true for two reasons...

First, people who are not psychic (like most of us) wouldn't have enough energy to create a session when alone. Psychics with high energy are also able to control it. Second, the best communication, and the reason the Ouija was invented, is for the combined energy of a group. Without the group, little to nothing will ever happen. The Ouija Session - Talk to the Dead Full instructions featuring setup, team roles and potential dangers are available in our Booklet YOUR OUIJA TEAM Gather 3 to 5 people. The sole purpose of this divination method is to combine multiple people to create psychic energy. Roles are to be assigned to the participants... The Leader ~ 1 person who touches Planchette and will control the session, lead communication The Documenter ~ 1 person who doesn't touch Planchette and will take notes, decipher what the ghost is trying to say The Energizer(s) ~ 1 to 3 people who touch Planchette and are focused witnesses to lend energy but never talk The Screamer (optional) ~ the friend who will scream at the first noise in the room ALWAYS FOCUS! The ghosts being summoned are working through your team's energy. Focus is important.

If one person is not focused and calm, then the message(s) could be slow and confusing. Focus on the energy that's moving the Planchette and nothing else. HOW TO START COMMUNICATION Be in a quiet room without disturbance The Ouija session should not be interrupted because breaking concentration can cause delays and negative energy. Be comfortable Be seated at a square or rectangular table where the Ouija Board so you don't have to lean or bend your arms at awkward angles. If the Planchette doesn't move ~ try luring a spirit with the following… “Spirit, this is a safe place." or "Is there a spirit out there with a message for somebody at this table?" If still nothing, switch roles! Try changing switching the Leader with an Energizer. WHO ARE YOU SPIRIT? Once the Planchette is moving, here are some things you could ask... The spirit's name The spirit's age when he / she died The spirit's gender What year they died in How they died Do they have a message for someone in the group, or someone connected to the group Or, is there anything they want to say or request from the living Or anything else you think might be important.

A Ouija Board session is like a great conversation. Pretend to be Larry King or George Stroumboulopoulos, but with dead people. CLOSING THE BOARD Remember Rule #2, always say Goodbye! What happens if you fail to close the door? Something negative might come through. Hopefully you never know the feeling of drawing a strong negative energy into your space. A perfect example is what happened to me at the old James Street haunted shop in Hamilton. JAMES STREET SHOP EXPERIENCE There were three of us in the old shop on James Street South in Hamilton when we decided to contact the dead. Sitting at a small round table in the middle of the shop floor with our homemade Ouija Board, we set out to contact the resident ghost. Her name was Elizabeth, and she made herself known to multiple psychics. They said she didnï¿½t like us in her home and was causing negative energy to drive us away. We wanted to learn more and knew the Ouija Board was our best bet. The old woman eventually came through. We asked, "Do you want us to leave?", and the planchette stopped. The board didn't respond, however the room did.

We started feeling very strange, like the air was heavy and hard to breath. Something was watching us from the empty psychic parlour, from the backroom, and in every dark corner. The feeling of dread was so uncomfortable we decided to end the session by forcing the still Planchette to 'Goodbye' and quickly leaving the shop. The next day the shop felt normal again. If this happens to you... Force the Planchette to Goodbye Take it off the board which will break the connection Remain calm, and make sure the team is also calm The best method is to be proactive. If a spirit is getting angry or insulting (swearing or threatening) ï¿½ END THE SESSION. Saying goodbye before the negative spirit gets up a head of steam will usually work.

Ouija Boards - Crystalinks Ouija Boards Ouija boards, talking boards, or spirit boards, are most often a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words "yes", "no", "hello" (occasionally), and "goodbye", along with various symbols and graphics. It is a registered trademark of Hasbro Inc. which markets and distributes the Ouija board as part of its line of board games. It involves the use of a planchette - a movable indicator - to point to a spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a seance . Participants place their fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words.

Ouija has become a trademark that is often used generically to refer to any talking board. Some regard ouija boards as a form of channeling , or mediumships - a means of communication with the other side. Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond on July 1, 1890, the Ouija board was regarded as a harmless parlor game unrelated to the occult until American Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I. In 2012, I channeled Pearl Curran on the TV series "Weird or What" with William Shatner. Mainstream religions and some occultists have associated use of a Ouija board with the concept of demonic possession, and view the use of the board as a spiritual threat and have cautioned their followers not to use an Ouija board. While Ouija believers feel the paranormal or supernatural are responsible for Ouija's action, it is parsimoniously explained by unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect. Despite being harshly criticized by the scientific community and deemed superstitious by traditional Christians, Ouija remains popular among many people.

History One of the first mentions of the automatic writing method used in the Ouija board is found in China around 1100 AD, in historical documents of the Song Dynasty. The method was known as "planchette writing". The use of planchette writing as an ostensible means of contacting the dead and the spirit-world continued, and, albeit under special rituals and supervisions, was a central practice of the Quanzhen School, until it was forbidden by the Qing Dynasty. Several entire scriptures of the Daozang are supposedly works of automatic planchette writing. Similar methods of mediumistic spirit writing have been widely practiced in ancient India, Greece, Rome, and medieval Europe. Ouija Boards were used during the time of the Roman Empire in the fourth century. They are also thought to have been used by the Greeks since before the time of Christ. The modern Ouija Board began as a combination of two tools used for scrying . The first was a wheel made up of the letters of the alphabet. The second was a glass, usually a wine glass which is inverted and placed in the middle. The letters were usually written on small pieces of paper which are placed in a circle around the table.

During the late 19th century, planchettes were widely sold as a novelty. The businessmen Elijah Bond and Charles Kennard had the idea to patent a planchette sold with a board on which the alphabet was printed. The patentees filed on May 28, 1890 for patent protection and thus had invented the first Ouija board. Issue date on the patent was February 10, 1891. They received U.S. Patent 446,054. Bond was an attorney and was an inventor of other objects in addition to this device. An employee of Kennard, William Fuld took over the talking board production and in 1901, he started production of his own boards under the name "Ouija". Kennard claimed he learned the name "Ouija" from using the board and that it was an ancient Egyptian word meaning "good luck." When Fuld took over production of the boards, he popularized the more widely accepted etymology, that the name came from a combination of the French and German words for "yes".

The Fuld name would become synonymous with the Ouija board, as Fuld reinvented its history, claiming that he himself had invented it. The strange talk about the boards from Fuld's competitors flooded the market, and all these boards enjoyed a heyday from the 1920s through the 1960s. Fuld sued many companies over the "Ouija" name and concept right up until his death in 1927. In 1966, Fuld's estate sold the entire business to Parker Brothers, which was sold to Hasbro in 1991, and which continues to hold all trademarks and patents. About ten brands of talking boards are sold today under various names. Making a Ouija Board Boards can be made out of anything. Most boards will work, even homemade ones. Many readers have written telling me about the creative ways they have made their own boards. If you are making a board from a drawing or design you have created - please try to remember to include: - The Alphabet - Numbers - good for dates, ages, other numerical facts - Astrological Signs Cover the board with clear heavy sheet of plastic or place it under a glass surface.

It must have a smooth - almost slippery top. Create you image and letters in black and white or in color. Use any type of paper - or place your design directly onto a hard surface board. If your image is made of paper place the paper on a masonite board - piece of wood - or even a table top. Be sure to leave lots of room around the edges of the board you have designed - so the indicator has room to move around without falling off the side of the board. Cover the design with clear plastic or some sort of clear coating. Be sure it is the exact same size as the board. Secure the plastic covering - around the edges with clear tape - (clear wide width tape). The ouija board can be used with an planchette made of plastic, wood, or a clear drinking glass. The best one are purchased from Parker Brothers or you can buy a ouija board game in a toy store and use the indicator from that came with the board you created. Using a Ouija Board Before you begin create the ambiance you desire - lighting, flowers, candles, location, cell phones off, other. Make your surroundings comfortable and seemingly free of negative energies.

Be sure your board and the three felt-tipped legs of the planchette are clean. Write down questions if needed - the rest will come. A video or audio recorder is fun. You might pick up static when spirits connection or just just to use as an aid to help you remember the messages given. An infrared camera used in an almost dark room sometimes show shadowy spirits. Some people ouija best alone - others like to ouija with another person as long as that person is emotionally stable. Teens tend to attract unstable situations, so be carefully. Decide if you want to place the board on a table, upon the knees of two persons, or where it is most comfortable for those who will use it. In a group, determine who wants to use the board - and who wants to just observe, then decide which person will ask the first question - and if there is to be an order to follow for asking questions. The time for each turn will vary with the spirit answering. Some people like to say a prayer over the board - or do some other ritual. In this case envision a protective white light of energy surround yourself, the board, those you are working with, and even the room. Ask your spirit guide - we all have guides.

Place your planchette on the board. "Warm it up' by making several slow sweeping circles over the board. You can place positive energy - white light - over the board as you initiate it. You are now ready to begin. Good luck! - When you use a ouija board, it is important to find out who you are connecting with. One of the first questions you might want to ask is the name/names of your spirit guides, as they are generally the first to make themselves known and thus allow you to feel protected. Everyone has at least one spirit guide. Once you know who you are taking to, proceed by asking for a message from spirit or by asking spirit simple Yes or No questions to which you know the answer. - People may be contacted by more than one spirit. Sometimes the spirits argue over who is to come through at a given time. Ask for one spirit at a time and always get a name before you begin. If you have telekinetic abilities and feel you can move the indicator with your mind, then it is best not to use the board as you are guiding the answers. Some spirits move across the board quickly - while others go very slow.

Once an answer is given you can ask for more information or clarification of the answer. But - - You can only ask a question ONCE! Do not continue to ask the question over and over to seek the answer you want. Ask the question once and accept the answers given. Ask simple questions that can be verified in the next few days. You may get thought forms and mental images as you talk to the spirit. A word may come through with all of the letters but in the wrong order. That is why it is best to have someone not using the board - writing the letters as they come through. A name may come through as ICMAHEL - meaning MICHAEL. Remember that not all spirits speak in your language. Some have trouble spelling words or creating sentences. If spirits ask you to do weird things - stop using the board. Anything negative being written on the board means you must put the board away for that session whether you want to or not. The entity should leave by your next session. Do not ask spirits to bring you things you want but would not otherwise have. All spirit have their boundaries. You must find out the limitations of the spirit you are talking to. Never ask spirits to do harm to others.

Never use the board to control others or have power over them. Do not let others use your board when you are not using it. Keep the board in a special place. Do not get addicted to ouija. Using a ouija board is not for everyone. Some people get it immediately, while others never get the hang of it. This seems to have no bearing on whether one is psychic or not. Many psychics cannot work a Ouija Board. With experience you can learn to channel your deceased loved ones and entities from other realms if they are around. Some days the board may work for you. Others days you may get no response. Be patient - and always feel comfortable with the spirit - or stop. Ellie's Ziriya Board Work the Ziriya Message Board I purchased my board in 1987 and still play with it from time to time. When moving the planchette, I press on it lightly with the index and middle fingers of my right hand, and never look down at the board. I just move the planchette in circles ... then sudden it stops dead in its track. I read the word in the center of the planchette ... and this is where my message begins.

I move the planchette quickly and as I dialogue with spirits on a daily basis, my guide being Z or Zoroaster. Imagine my surprise when I found a board whose named started with a "Z". I also agree with those who believe ouija boards are not for everyone, especially those with emotional problems. In the News ... Who Ya Gonna Call? Mobile App Conjures Spirit World Live Science - August 8, 2013 Sending and receiving messages from beyond the grave used to require a caftan-wearing medium hosting a seance in a dark, candlelit room. How 20th century. Today's medium can ditch the caftan in favor of an iPhone, now that a pair of developers in Greenwood, Ind., have developed Spirit Story Box, an app that claims to let the dead communicate with the living. Developers Roger Pingleton and Jill Beitz created Spirit Story Box in an effort to improve on other paranormal apps. The iPhone app, upon detecting the presence of otherworldly spirits, displays the words that the dead would like communicate - not unlike a modern-day ouija board.

Ouija | More Movie Details Share on StumbleUpon + After Laine’s (Olivia Cooke) childhood friend, Debbie (Shelley Henning), suddenly dies, Laine, alongside Debbie’s boyfriend, Pete (Douglas Smith), discovers an antique Ouija board in Debbie’s room and tries to use it to say “Goodbye” to her best friend. “Yes.” “No.” “Goodbye.” These words that are printed on a classic Ouija board seem so innocent. Find out what happens when a deadly presence refuses to say “Goodbye.” As Ouija is White and Snowden’s first film working within the Blumhouse model, they weren’t sure exactly what to expect. Filming a movie on a more abbreviated schedule may scare some, but both welcomed the process and outcome. Several years ago, Hasbro and blockbuster producers Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes approached Universal Pictures to discuss making Ouija as a microbudget film that explored the supernatural elements of the iconic board.

Fellow powerhouse producer Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions was brought on to complete the team—which includes Hasbro’s producer Bennett Schneir, who has a multipicture production deal with the company—and Ouija was a go. Of the decision to make the film in this genre, Form surmises: “To have a device where you can talk to the other side is a perfect base for a horror movie.” After penning the films Knowing and The Possession , husband-and-wife team Stiles White and Juliet Snowden were eager to continue writing character-driven thrillers. When they were approached to craft the screenplay for Ouija, with the offer for White to make his directorial debut, it was just the project for which they were searching. The Ouija board was imagined out of humanity’s intrinsic desire for answers to the seemingly inexplicable. So, when White and Snowden began writing, they knew they needed to first sort out their protagonist’s intense need. The more that the duo looked into the reactions following the loss of someone, and how traumatic death is for many of us, the more they found their story’s motivating force.

With that driving the narrative, one young woman’s obsession with finding out what happened to her best friend was the clear through-line. When casting Ouija, the filmmakers worked to select actors whose performances would make the film grounded in reality. Form shares: “We wanted the characters to feel like they were making real decisions. This is difficult to accomplish in a horror movie when your protagonist is walking up the stairs and you know she shouldn’t be. We wanted the audience to feel just as scared as the actors looked.” The principal cast is composed of five friends, led by the fearless Laine, a high school student looking for answers. Filmmakers searched for a great deal of time for the best actress to fill the role. Little did they know, she was right in front of them…as a placeholder in White’s Ouija tone book. Though Laine’s insatiable curiosity leads her into dire situations in Ouija, Cooke admits she’s never used a Ouija board. As soon as Cooke was selected, the filmmakers set out finding the supporting cast. First up, Laine’s devoted, albeit skeptical, boyfriend, Trevor, was cast.

After seeing several actors audition for the role, Daren Kagasoff of TV’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager stood out as the clear choice. Debbie’s home had to be perfect, even if it required the use of more than one location. It turned out that there was a neighborhood in Los Angeles that provided everything for which the filmmakers were searching. The exterior used for Debbie’s house was four houses away from the one used for the interior.
